Jared Lazarus has just been named the new chief executive officer of BluBell Fitness Centers, Inc. In addition to an annual salary of $415,000, his three-year contract states that his compensation will include 18,750 at-the-money European call options on the company’s stock that expire in three years. The current stock price is $49 per share and the standard deviation of the returns on the firm’s stock is 60 percent. The company does not pay a dividend. Treasury bills that mature in three years yield a continuously compounded interest rate of 4 percent. Assume that the annual salary payments occur at the end of the year and that these cash flows should be discounted at a rate of 12 percent.

  

1)Use the Black-Scholes model to calculate the value of the stock options. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
2)Determine the total value of the compensation package on the date the contract is signed. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Explain in 2 to 3 lines.

1.When we open a position, the costs are different between an options contract and a futures contract. Explain the difference between a premium and a margin account. Be sure to explain the various types of margins that are required and what costs each type of contract has.

2.Explain the idea of the "cost of carry" as it applies to futures contracts. Specifically, what factors can influence the difference between a spot and futures/forward price in the cost of carry? Now explain "convergence" as it relates to spot and futures prices as well as the cost of carry.

Two blocks of mass mA = 5kg and mB = 7kg are connected by a cable of negligible mass on a pulley. The

pulley rotates on a frictionless axle, the cable doesn’t slip on the pulley, it has a radius r = 4cm and a mass mp = 10g. Block A is on an inclined ramp at an angle θ = 30◦ above the ground and there is a coefficent of

friction μk = 0.12 between block A and the ramp. Block B sits a distance d = 3m from the ground. The system is released from rest and block B descends. Calculate the speed of block B at the instant just before it hits the ground

FINANCIAL LEVERAGE EFFECTS

Firms HL and LL are identical except for their financial leverage ratios and the interest rates they pay on debt. Each has $15 million in invested capital, has $3.75 million of EBIT, and is in the 40% federal-plus-state tax bracket. Firm HL, however, has a debt-to-capital ratio of 55% and pays 12% interest on its debt, whereas LL has a 30% debt-to-capital ratio and pays only 10% interest on its debt. Neither firm uses preferred stock in its capital structure.

  1. Calculate the return on invested capital (ROIC) for each firm. Round your answers to two decimal places.

    ROIC for firm LL is   %
    ROIC for firm HL is   %

  2. Calculate the rate of return on equity (ROE) for each firm. Round your answers to two decimal places.

    ROE for firm LL is    %
    ROE for firm HL is    %

  3. Observing that HL has a higher ROE, LL's treasurer is thinking of raising the debt-to-capital ratio from 30% to 60% even though that would increase LL's interest rate on all debt to 15%. Calculate the new ROE for LL. Round your answer to two decimal places.

a. $5,000 received each year for 7 years on the last day of each year if your investments pay 7 percent compounded annually.
b. $5,000 received each quarter for 7 years on the last day of each quarter if your investments pay 7 percent compounded quarterly.
c. $5,000 received each year for 7 years on the first day of each year if your investments pay 7 percent compounded annually.
d. $5,000 received each quarter for 7 years on the first day of each quarter if your investments pay 7 percent compounded quarterly.

The Martinezes are planning to refinance their home (assuming that there are no additional finance charges). The outstanding balance on their original loan is $175,000. Their finance company has offered them two options:

Option A: A fixed-rate mortgage at an interest rate of 6.5% per year compounded monthly, payable over a 30-year period in 360 equal monthly installments.

Option B: A fixed-rate mortgage at an interest rate of 6.25% per year compounded monthly, payable over a 12-year period in 144 equal monthly installments.

(a) Find the monthly payment required to amortize each of these loans over the life of the loan. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
Option A: $  
Option B: $  

(b) How much interest would the Martinezes save if they chose the 12-year mortgage instead of the 30-year mortgage?

Situation (Data Structures and Sorting C++)
You have been employed at BmoCel, an internet service provider. Data is sent as packets from their
server to their clients. Each packet has a fixed size of 16 alphanumeric characters. However, they are
currently having problems with managing their data transmissions. Your bosses have asked you to
rectify the problem

The client manages the packets in a First‐In, First‐Out manner. Due to transmission limitations of the client, only 8 packets can be transmitted in the transmission pipeline at any given time. If another packet is to be transmitted, the first packet that was transmitted will be stored onto the client, making room for additional packets in the transmission pipeline.
